THE OMAHA DAILY lliE: SUNDAY, MAY 4,. 1902. 11 BASE BALL IN FULL CLORY Great 'American Game Moring Eapidlj Thtie Early Bummer Day a. WESTERN MAKES REMARKABLE SHOWING All Teams Playlaa; Good Ball aad A teadaaee DriliUn Prtvc Pib lle Interest la Resalts Intense. Running easy. All the Kami la the Western league have had a chance now to stretch themeelvee and see what they can do, and the result la decidedly satisfactory. Their patroni can rest comfortably In the pro pec t of teeing tome bang-up baaeball during the eaaon. That much la eettled. It la too aoon to baae a prediction aa to the out coma of the pennant race, but It'a aure ae thootln' that the winner will have to play ball all the way. Thote teama that were thought to be weak hare ahown weakness only In auch waya aa may be charged solely to lack of practice. Baaeball Isn't prop erly started until hot weather aeta In, and lo Improvement In every branch of the gam may be expected. Omaha baa made good ao far In the promise of assemblage, and has turned out the strongest fielding team that ever represented the Gate City on the diamond. The pitching staff la an excellent one In every respect and geta the best of support all tr way round the field. Tbla was most forcibly shown on Tuesday during the exciting twelve-inning contest with Peoria. Twelve clean hlta were made off Oraham'a delivery by the visitors, and yet they were able to aecure but two runs. Only superb fielding support could have aecured that result. And, then, that bunch of aluggera Billy Hart has gathered lined out many a ball during that giue that would have been hlta wltfi" work cf the average base ball team. Omaha'a onl de feat ao far this aeason Is due aolely to an error of judgment on part of the ster.d lest players on the team, a thing not likely tn occur aaaln In a hundred games, nor to weigh so heavily If repeated In each. Other teama In the league are coming Into their stride In good shape, with the exception of 8t. Joseph. McKlbben and hta aalntly crew run into all kinds of hard luck out weat and fell far short of the showing they were expected to make. This Is not at all likely to discourage them, and a quite different tale will be heard from the home aeries. Milwaukee, too, has played better ball than the standing table Indtcatea, and will make matters warm for thereat of them before the summer Is over Qulnn eeoras to have gathered together a fighting bunch for Dee Moines and baa had some fierce tu sales with his opponents so far. Denver, Kansas City and Colorado Springs have shown the strength that waa conceded them before the opening games and have played excellent ball up to date, Western fana are well pleased with the samples presented and look forward con' tenledly to a aeaaon of splendid base ball All over the country the gamea are going faater than ever. Playera are up on their toe all the time everywhere and the dally reporta of the gamea are delightful reading for those who love to follow the tabulated acorea through the aeaaon. Attendance has been good everywhere save at the Amert can association games. Columbus baa bad good crowda, the people there seeming to have abandoned everything for the ball game. At Toledo the Sunday crowda have been large, but the week-day attendanoe has been very small, one game laat week being played to 800. Indianapolis will not allow Sunday ball and the week-day crowds range around 500 to 600. Louisville Is like Toledo, g"od crowda on Sunday, but small on week days. With payrolla ranging around $3,500 to 5,000 a month, the at tendance will have to be much larger than this If the American association clubs weather the aeason through. Omaha'a present trip will bring the team against four opponent and will afford a fair Idea of what sort of a read team It Is. Fifteen games are scheduled and the boya modestly talk of taking aeven of tham. Nina will be nearer the result If the team provea anything like as good on the road aa It la at home. Manager Rourka la looking after the comfort of his men, too, by taking a private car for the trip. In this way they will be certain of necessary attention while making their jumps from place to place, and ought to be In eplendld condition, barring accidents. all the time. Dudley Rickey will be turned over to Milwaukee, aa Omaha'a pitching staff la full without him. Btone will be recalled from Peoria and will probably supplant Carter In the infield. Hla bat ting ability wUl be of great assistance to Omaha, aa that la the only department of the game In which the team la weak, In a "few well choeen words" the Denver Poet bade farewell to Parke Wilson and hla eo-parcenera la the gam In the following hortatory and admonitory manner: Tha Kama yesterday, however, was the hardest one of th lot to losa and Denver deliberately threw It away by poor base running. There were three runs that would positively have been aoored had the team used Judgment In going frvim sack to aack nMhini f the noaul blllUm of more coming In before the elde was retired.

Prom his earliest moments of activity down to the prevent his one dream, waking or Bleeping, has been to call balls and strikes and pass on fouls and bases. In years gone by he had occasional oppor tunities to exercise his unquestioned talent In this regard, doing service for amateur and semi-professional teams at various time. Even when he was a magnate and controlled the destinies of a team of his own, his heart still yearned for the Indica tor. Last summer he bad a chsnce, but his esay at St. Joseph was unpropttlous snd back to the woods fled Buck. When the springtime came again the old fever burned in his blood and the several pre liminary contests over which he pre ttied merely served to aggravate his longing. Last week he was made supemally happy by receipt of a letter from President Sexton appointing him an miliary umpire and asking him to be tn readiness for a call at any time. So Buck's face le beaming aa he whistle "Goodbye, Dolly Gray," and the Western league public will be delighted some time this season by hearing him bellow, ''Wubbaw," Urout," and other ehlbboletbs of his craft. After a consultation the American league magnate have decided to fight the In junctions the National la securing against the "rubber legs." It didn't take Ban Johnson long to see that If the salarle had to be paid anyhow It would be better to have the players Involved In the game rather than on the bench. Lajole and his pals, who are drawing large euma for rest ing, say they will not go back to the Na tional. Should Bay not, nor anywhere else, as long as they can get the money for doing nothing. These "out-for-the-stuff" boys don't care whose it la so long as they get It, and the easier it come the better It suits them. Right in the middle of the mees Jimmy Bheckard gave anotber ex ample of his hurdling ability by Jumping back from Baltimore to Brooklyn. Hanlon waa weak enough to put him back tnto the game. Such a ball player should be driven from the game he baa disgraced. With Jumpers and Injunction aulta and mobbing umpire at Baltimore and Boston the Ban Johnson Society for the Purification of Base Ball has lta hands full for fair. It wasn't preconcerted probably, but It happened Just right. Dale Oear and Charlie Nichols went Into the box for the first time this season on the same day. Nichols pitched his team to victory In an" eleven- Inning contest against Denver, while Oear was hit for twenty-three safeties of as sorted lengths, thirteen earned runs and the game resulting for Indianapolis. This waa duly noted at Kansas City. Omaha people should remember that dur lng the dark davs when; we had no league team to furnish us with our favorite snort. the Originals held aloft the torch and kept the light burning. Thl aggregation of semi-professional players has been a nart of Omaha'B base ball history and still exists a m. . . ..... io uo us snare towara maintaining the eu- premacy of the greatest of outdoor game us nrst real matcn or the season will be played this afternoon against the Nebraska Indians at Vinton Street park and win be a good game of ball.

Well, that may be bo, but It's a cinch' that un to rft n.h. won aa many games away from home aa Denver. Again the question of which town on tha Western league circuit had the largest attendance laat aeason. T. J. Hlckey, who was president, secretary and treasurer nt the league last year, la The Bee's authority for atatlng that Omaha had the largest number of paid admissions, nearly 63.000. Denver waa second, with almost 10.000 fewer paid attendance than Omaha, Den ver took In more money, owing to the nigner price charged at the gate. ATHLETICS AT THE UNIVERSITY neDraeka's Prowess at Base Hall ' Jabllaatly Extolled by Student Rooters. Never had the University of Nebraska such cause to be proud of lta base ball exponents aa now, and no one connected Interested in with the institution or tn any way to shirking his duty in that regard. The expressions of en thusiasm and triumph that have en dured at Lincoln ever alnce the victory of the Gophers, all through last week's glories over Kansas opponents, have never been duplicated In the causa of base ball and few pigskin demonstrations have been their, equal. Bonfires and alg-xag marches, accompanied by constant yelling, singing and turmoil, have become ao com mon that the appearance of a howling mob of elated students in a hotel, theater or other public place haa almost ceaaed to at tract notice now save from strangers who have not become familiar with thla sort of atunt. Nor can anyone say that thla extreme celebration ia In exaggeration of the real merit of the 'vanity team. Undoubtedly Nebraska has never bad one aa good, and a clean record of winnings over all col lege oomera to date Is certainly deserving of recognition In the moat pronounced stu dent manner. With auch atrong schools as the Uni versity of Minnesota, Washburn college and Kansaa university laid away, the lat ter twice In succession by big scores, the Cornhuskera may well begin to claaa them selves among the topnotchera In the mid dle west college teama and they are already champtona of the Tranamlssourl district. The laat game with Kansaa university on Friday at Lincoln was th final gam of the aeaaon there unleaa the University of Minnesota can be persuaded to give a return gam In Nebraska, In which rasa tn date will be some time after the team returna from Its long trip on May 19 The 'varsity fans, however, are not sat la ded with having their favorites thus sud denly cut oft from them and will do every thing that can be done to bring about some more gamea on the home grounds. The team bas now left on Its final long trip, which takes It up agalnat fourteen of the best college and university teams In Iowa, Illinois, Indians, Missouri and Kansas. No doubt Is felt that the boya will acquit themselves with all credit, and. although such a thing would be extremely unusual, there is mu h actual hope expressed that the team will com out of th long series of engagementa unscathed aa to record For a Cornhusker baa ball team to come home after that atiS circuit without having loat a single game would be Indeed glory and It ia on that very denouement that not a few of the familiars are building Pitcher Lealherby lb freahmaa who baa mad auch a bit In th box, la certainly a wonder for a collegian. He mi to grow better all tb time and should do many great things on the trip. He It waa who defeated Minnesota and Kaaaaa In one game each and who held the Omaha leaguera to auch a close contest for tea innings. Bender haa been doing most of tb back stop work lately in plac of Do a and th little eurly-headed bload who makes such a speedy halfback each fall to car laimy a great catcher. H also bits a few. Right Fielder Shetmer baa left school aad Cortelyou, aa Osnahan. and also a great t ball player, has been put In h!s place as utility fielder with the team. Lawn tennis at the university has leaped forward Into marked prominence among the athletically inclined during the last week and the revival In this game bids fair to be stronger at thin school than anywhere else In the state. In the first place there are now attending the university three men, and possibly four. Who ran easily de feat any ' one In Nebraska outside of It. Again, the courts are right on the campus, and so very convenient to gymnasium. showers and lockers. The 'varsity courts are In great shape and new backneta and new apparatus all around have been Installed. Some of the playera aro already exhibiting very clever work. There seems to be an unusual num ber of stara In school this year. There ia the old standby champion. Earl Farns worth, who has only a year more in col lege. Ike Raymond and Segger, although they are not out yet, will doubtless appear Boon, and they form a powerful pair or two crack single men as well. A new light has appeared, in the person of Falyer, from Iowa. He is working for form to enter the Interstate tournament at Sioux City next aummer. He has a great La ford stroke and can probably best anyone In school but Farnsworth. Many tournaments are planned for the season, and the first occurs this week. This is to determine the team to play Kansas here shortly. It seems a surety that Farnsworth and Falyer will secure the places, but Peters, Telner and Roth will be strong runners up. In addition to these local events many matches with other universities are planned. The latest proposition is to meet Minnesota and Iowa as well as Kansas. Track events took a little Jump forward last week because of a field meet, which was a sort of trial event. Some good runners are working, as was developed at this meet, and with more training It would not be surprising if they should break some of the university records as well as amasb Borne state figures. The most Important matter in track af fairs is the construction of two new cinder paths north of the gymnasium, which are Just completed. One is for the broad jump, the other for the pole vault. These are a great help, as it has been impossible to get the sole spikes well Into the ground for some time. Coach Booth feels that these paths are considerable of a compen sation for hla failure to get a cinder track. WHEELMEN TAKE THE ROADS Revival of Clnb Runs Flnda Many Omaha Rider Racer to Participate. , Residents of the smaller towns in the vicinity of Omaha have been astonished at divers times during the last few days to see a swarm of wheelmen In " bright colored togs emerge from a cloud of dust down the road and descend upon the mu nlclpallty In Its quietude. Sometimes the bikers merely whir right on down the main street and out at the other end of the town. Other places they stop, rest, eat and return on the road which led them Here. Not since 1895 and 1896 have such sights as these been seen In Nebraska, and to the youngster of today they are as new and aa much of a novelty as they were to the boya of seven years ago, when the bicycle club and club run fever was at lta height. The older heads, however, have faint memories of events of which the present ones are exact repetitions, and the village oracles can be aeen scratching their heads and wondering "When -was it I Been a can a like that?" These doings make it eeem certain that the bicycle burn haa really begun to smart again, and It has. Not In many years haa any crowd of wheelmen scoured along the country roads till this spring, and the revival of the club runs Is the surest Indication of the return of the "tin horse" to popular favor. Omaha wheelmen have already made two runs, and they have a regular schedule of them planned for Saturdaya and Sundays for many moons to come. The third of the BTles will occur today and will be to Crescent City. Ia., and return. The start will be made at 1:30 this afternoon from Seventeenth Btreet and Capitol avenue. The rldera who have participated In previous runs will be there, and It is expected that many more will Join the party. No one need atay away because of a rear that he would find himself entered In scorching contest. There Is no feature of hat kind In connection with the run. A Dace of about eight miles an hour la car rted and frequent atops are made, ao that th tnurnev is in every way a matter of pleasure and not of records and speed. Ia fact, the one thing that above an otnera makoa certain the permanency of th blcvcle revival is the fact that the eprlnt Idea haa been dropped, and moderation will hereafter be the rule. Wheeling had great run, and everything connected with it went to auch extremea mat it couia noi issi It choked Itself with Its own fierceness and la now re-establlsbed to proceed on a dif ferent basis. Twelva wheelmen took the first run ot the season, which was to Fori troo pleasant little Jaunt. Thla waa on April 20 and the bikers arrived in time to see the base ball game between the Fort Crook and Bellevue teams. The road waa round to d In good condition and men in the party who had not been on a club run in five yeara could not but notice the great differ ence in ease and comfort of riding that raaulted from the later improvements to hlcvrtes. such as the cushion frames coaster brakea and spring handle bara, un known a few yeara ago. The next Sunday, April 27, another run waa taken, thla time to Millard. Nineteen wheelmen participated and they formed most unusual spectacle, aa to see so many rldera on the road together la something that haa not occurred in Nebraska for so Ions that It looks new. Single riders, true with their devotion to the wheel unshaken by the desertion perpetrated by fickle popu lar fancy, have gone on doing their little century runs and regular trips, and maybe aven some Dalrs. but their name Is not legion, and It Is doubtless safe to say that half a dosen wheelmen In a bunch nav not cut up the dust along a country road around nere for five yeara at the least. Those who took part In the last run were John Dye, Emll Flescher, Guy Brown, Louis Flescher. Roy Lewis, Ed Jackson, Jay Lewis, Free Bradford. Walter Bell, Clarence 8outhman. George Brown, Homer Flxher J. Falrbrother. Albert Weberg, Willi Sprague, J. B. Callahan, A. H. Edson, Scott Johnson and A. B. Benson. They found the road good aave for one rough mile.

A hungry appetite does not have to be feastedand feted, nor tempted with dainty viands and delicacies. plainest fare will satisfy its cravings, while a sickly and de fective appetite will turn with loathing and disgust from the most sumptuous banquet.

BOWLERS ANDJTHEIR SCORES Record Made ia Two-Man Team Tourney and Prises Awarded Therefor. Three Important developments In bowling maraea tne past week's sport in that aame One was aa event, another a decision, the tnird a proposition. The first waa the com pletlon of the two-man tourney, the sec ond waa an apparently final determination mat mere will be no one-man stammer tourney held In the near future, as had been prognosticated, while the last is a plan to nave anotner two-man tourney. Aa an other feature, though a minor one, of thla summary. It might be aald that despite tne advent ot several warm days the bowl lng waa not noticed to fall off to any un healthy degree and the laat thing the al leys had to asy for themselves all over the city last night waa "full bouse." Even more auspicious than Its commence ment was the closing of the two-man tour ney, and the distribution ot the different honors after the last few tardy teama played off their final gamea was watched with the keenest Interest by the local lowers of the game. In many waya this tourney may be held up as a model con test of the kind, for never from atari to finish did the interest of the competitors lag In the slightest, nor waa Its progress marred at any stage by a general bad alump or scores such aa beset the Omaha Bowl ing league during aeveral weeks' at differ ent times. As a matter of fact, the failure of the one-man tourney to materialize may be credited wholly to the success of the two- man tourney, for the talk now Is to have another double one very soon, and this prospect haa shut the one-man proposition from the view of the bowlers. The rollers aeera to have a atrong predilection for rolling In pairs, for while in ao doing they are compelled to share with each other all possible honors, they alao are enabled to share the responsibility for probable de feats. So a new twe roan tourney Is the present plan on foot. T. e idea Is to have It follow closely upon h lines ef the one Just com pleted. It la col uurd that the number of entries and tj. length of the tourna ment aa well were ii.t (or aucb a contest, and they will be diipl.cated. Tbla meana twenty-four men, -or twelve teams, and fifteen gamea of ten frames each, or five aerlea of three games each, one aeries to be played at a rolling. Laat Wedneaday night marked tba laat play of tbe tourney. At that time Fogg aad O'Brien.

These have not yet tyen published and the ten teama who lasted tnrougn nnisnea wun tne iouowing scores: Huntington and Lehman 6.133 Zarp and Emery 6,073 Hartley and F.

Krug and Uengele 4.43t It will be seen from thla tabulation that Huntington and Lehman take first money, $25, with high total. Zarp and Emery took second, $15, and Hartley and F. Conrad third, $5. Hartley distinguished himself further by winning the individual total score trophy. a handsome gold medal of appropriate bowl ing design. It consists of a scroll plat pin, with sample" room for Inscription, from which depends two gold tenpins crossed at the middle and having attached to their lower ends a gold bowling ball. with two jewels set In to represent tba finger holes. - The whola thing Is moat elaborate and Of excellent design and bean tlful finish. For only those' four ' placea were there) prizes, but others of the bowlers achieved different honors. Zarp rolled the highest Individual score for a single series of three) games, making 636, which is, by the way, a very high score, showing an average of 211 per game. Zarp and O'Brien meanwhile Are a tie for first Individual single gan honors, both having thrown 236 during th tourney. Zarp and Emery took high team score for one aeries of three gamea with 1,137. Thus Zarp was In It thrice. It is probable that very nearly all of tba men who competed In this tournament will wish to enter the next one. Because oC the fact that two men of different team"; left the city, only ten pairs finished, aa this leaves room for four more bowlers, even If all the old ones re-enter. It Is er pected that the tourney will be begun dura lng the third week of May, If not sooner. Bowlers are now anticipating with eon slderable interest the series of gamea ia be played between the German and Amerl can teams. This cd be understood when the personnel of the1 quintets la noted. II reads: AMERICAN. GERMAN. Emery A. Krug lienman beselln Smead Zurp Clarkwon Hulls Huntington Weber Here are ten of the best score of bowls ers In tbe Omaha Bowling league, aa thelg records for the season just concluded show. There were nineteen names In the roll of honor this year, meaning that all of tbeia averaged 1C6 pins, or better a game for tbe long eight months of league play. Every one of these ten are la that Hat ot nineteen and six of them are in the first ten. Another remarkable thing regarding tha respective merits of these two teama cornea to light upon Investigation. That la that the average number of pine per man per game for each team, computed from tha average they made In tbe league play juat ended. Is practically the same, the Germans being a fraction of one pin higher than tbe Americans. It Is not probable that the bowlera were aware of this fact wbea they formed their post season teama, but lucky chance brought things about bo that tha teama are exactly matched on pre vious record, and thla would seem to prom lse close contests If form and claaa eeuat tor anything ia bowling. -
